Ricky Gervais: Equal-opportunity offender

Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times

Just how mean were Gervais' barbs? Here's a brief rundown of everyone he offended (or attempted to offend): Charlie Sheen, overweight people, "The Tourist," Mel Gibson, "Burlesque," Cher, Hugh Hefner, a couple of allegedly closeted Scientologists and (why not?) the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. itself. That tally went on to include Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr., Sylvester Stallone, Tim Allen, Steve Carell and the ladies of "Sex and the City."
